Britain’s Labour Party Criticizes Farage Over Ties to U.S. Anti-Abortion Group
AI Summary
The Labour Party in Britain has criticized Nigel Farage, leader of Reform U.K., over his appearance in the US Congress that was arranged by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a conservative Christian organization. The ADF helped end Roe v. Wade and has been courting Reform U.K. since at least 2024. Farage used his testimony to attack Britain's free-speech rules, while the party hired James Orr, a theologian who opposes abortion in every circumstance, as a senior adviser. This move is striking in Britain, where religion plays little role in national politics and most people support abortion rights. The Labour Party finds it "deeply concerning" that Farage's stance on abortion has changed since 2024. Farage had previously campaigned against abortion during his career but did not mention it before joining Reform U.K.
